Computer Consoles Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts, will have a new release, 4.0, of its OfficePower Unix office automation software, on the market next month. The product, which runs on the complete line of Computer Consoles Power5 micro and Power6 minicomputers, is sold it the UK by ICL. New features include document conversion facilities to the US Navy DIF Document Interchange Format, and a program that converts OfficePower documents into standard ASCII. Documents can be transferred to a stand-alone PC-DOS word processing package for formatting and revision and a conversion program brings ASCII-formatted documents created on many popular word processors into the OfficePower word processor with OfficePower format codes. It also features an integrated version of Access Technology’s 20/20 spreadsheet, with a business graphics package; proportional spacing with support for popular laser printers; automatic font conversion; a redundant file system for file protection; and a Table of Authorities feature that automatically compiles citations in a legal document into an alphabetically sorted list, added at the request of law firm customers. Because 20/20 is the only spreadsheet that runs on micros, minis and mainframes, standardised modelling can be used. The proportional spacing is supported on Xerox 2700/3700 and 4045, Imagen 2308, Dataproducts 2630 and all Hewlett-Packard LaserJet laser printers.
